Last month we just received this aiptek camcorder, it's a deal price of $206, you can give it a look

I picked up this camera not expecting anything much... but I was surprised! The video quality is very good and its pretty much a no brainer to use.
these kind of camera's are really designed for quickie type videos. They are convenient because the file is ready to go with no need for tape conversion then the dreaded compression which take forever...
